HOMER BROOKE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

MEANS FOR ATTACHING CAPS TO BOTTLES.

SPECIFlIC ATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 241,921, dated May 24, 1881,

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, HOMER BROOKE, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented anew and useful Iinprovementin Means for Attaching Gaps to Bottles, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation, Fig. 2 is a vertical section, and Fig. 3 is a plan view, of the bottle with the-cap removed.

In the accompanying drawings, D represents a bottle provided with an internal groove, a, in its neck for the reception of the opposite ends of a cross-bar, B, placed inside the neck of the bottle, and provided with a loop in its middle, to which is secured a chain, O, the op? posite end of the chain being secured to an eye, S, attached centrally to the inner face of the top of the cap A.

Instead of the groove a in the neck of the bottle, two opposite recesses may be made in the neck of the botlle to receive the ends of 20 the cross-bar B.

It will be readily seen that the cap A cannot be separated from the bottle D, of which it is a component part, when the cap is removed from the neck of the bottle for the purpose of filling, 25 &c., but is retained to the same by means of the chain C, Fig. 2.

What [claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination. with a bottle provided 30 with a groove, 0,, and with a cap, of the eye S, the cross-bar B, and the chain 0, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

HOMER BROOKE.
